IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

61 sounds good. A little better strike. Another round-O - you hit the motherlode!

Thanks @Bump111 as always. The seller told me that among the 1883-O coins, there is a VAM-4 which is a Top100 VAM. He didn't mark that coin for the variety and I've been looking for it among the 12 1883-O coins I posted. Even in hand and with the markers in the link below, I wasn't able to find it. If you see a VAM-4 in the 83-O's I posted let me know.  http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...1883-O_VAM-4IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

I'm hit and miss right now with time, but will be able to review sometime today. Someone else may beat me to it! "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae
